An embodiment unitary structural component for attaching to a floor of a vehicle, the unitary structural component including a first cross portion, a second cross portion spaced apart from the first cross portion, and a central extension connecting the first cross portion and the second cross portion and extending along a central longitudinal axis of the floor, wherein the first cross portion, the second cross portion, and the central extension define a unitary one-piece structure.

A vehicle base structure includes first and second structural members extending along a vehicle front-rear direction and disposed respectively at first and second sides of a vehicle base in a vehicle width direction, a battery unit disposed between the first and second structural members, and a bracket including a first wall portion fixed to a lower surface of one of the first and second structural members, a second wall portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from an inner end portion of the first wall portion and inclined downward in a vehicle-height direction from the inner end portion of the first wall portion, and a third wall portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from an inner end portion of the second wall portion inward in the vehicle width direction and being fixed to a lower surface of a battery case.

A tunnel reinforcing structure includes a floor cross member that extends in a vehicle width direction and that couples a side sill on each side of the vehicle and a floor tunnel to each other, the floor tunnel being a tunnel in which an exhaust pipe is arranged in a tunnel interior opened toward the lower external side of a vehicle, seat brackets that are arranged in front of and behind the cross member in a vehicle front-rear direction and that are joined to the floor tunnel, and a first tunnel reinforcing member that is provided in a tunnel interior parallel to the cross member in the vehicle width direction.

An embodiment skateboard platform for an electric vehicle includes a skateboard frame including a center module, a front module connected to a front of the center module, and a rear module connected to a rear of the center module, and a battery assembly mounted on the skateboard frame, wherein the battery assembly is detachably connected to the center module.

The invention is for a system that supports and stabilizes a suspended vehicle, allowing it to be accessed and/or repaired as desired by a user. The system includes a first pair of braces that are installed parallel to the longitudinal axis of a corresponding vehicle body with the floorboard-frame unit removed. The system includes a second pair of braces positioned on a vehicle floorboard-frame unit, including brackets that can be used to align the alignments with the frame. At least one first brace includes an alignment element that extends in a downward direction towards the second pair of braces. The braces therefore each include a pair of longitudinally extending members in opposed relationship with each other, supporting the vehicle body and floorboard-frame unit, respectively.

A console for a vehicle includes a first bracket and a second bracket disposed opposite the first bracket in a mirroring configuration relative to the first bracket. Each of the first bracket and the second bracket includes a body, an upper arm extending from an upper front portion of the body and configured to couple to a vehicle frame, a lower arm extending from a lower front portion of the body and configured to couple to a vehicle frame, and a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes a first leg configured to couple to a floor of the vehicle and the second end includes a second leg configured to couple to the floor of the vehicle. The first bracket and the second bracket are mutually coupled in at least one region.

A vehicle body structure includes: a second floor cross member and a third floor cross member in which one end in a vehicle width direction is connected to a side sill; a battery arranged below the second floor cross member and the third floor cross member; a battery case which stores the battery and in which one end in the vehicle width direction is connected via a right frame and a left frame; cross member bent portions formed on the second floor cross member and the third floor cross member; and frame bent portions formed on the right frame and the left frame. The cross member bent portions and the frame bent portions are arranged side by side in an up-down direction.

A vehicle base structure includes first and second structural members extending along a vehicle front-rear direction and disposed respectively at first and second sides of a vehicle base in a vehicle width direction, a battery unit disposed between the first and second structural members, and a bracket including a first wall portion fixed to a lower surface of one of the first and second structural members, a second wall portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from an inner end portion of the first wall portion and inclined downward in a vehicle-height direction from the inner end portion of the first wall portion, and a third wall portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from an inner end portion of the second wall portion inward in the vehicle width direction and being fixed to a lower surface of a battery case.

In an embodiment, a vehicle body structure includes a dash cross member disposed on an upper surface of a dash floor in a lateral direction of a vehicle. A lower side member is coupled to a lower side of the dash floor to face the dash cross member and coupled to a side wall of a side sill. A body mounting bracket is provided under the lower side member and coupled to a frame.

A vehicle-body structure includes a floor panel constituting a floor of an occupant space, a center frame disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of the occupant space and extending in a front-rear direction, and connecting members each extending upward from the floor panel, having an upper portion fixed to the center frame, and connecting the center frame to the floor panel.
